Overview
California is one of those places that delivers on every front. You've got world-famous cities, golden beaches, towering redwoods, and some of the best food and wine you'll find anywhere. Whether you're cruising Pacific Coast Highway, exploring San Francisco's neighbourhoods, or soaking up the energy of Los Angeles, the state has a way of keeping you constantly entertained. It's a brilliant destination on its own — and an even better jumping-off point for what comes next.
From California, you trade the city buzz for something altogether slower and sweeter. Tahiti and the islands of French Polynesia sit just a few hours across the Pacific, but they feel like a completely different world. Think overwater bungalows, crystal-clear lagoons in every shade of blue, and a pace of life that gently reminds you there's no rush. Bora Bora, Moorea, and the other islands each have their own personality, but they share that same effortless beauty that's genuinely hard to leave behind.
Put the two together and you get a trip with real variety — buzz and calm, urban and tropical, sightseeing and simply switching off. It's the kind of combination that works beautifully whether you're celebrating something special or just ready for a holiday that goes above and beyond.

What you’ll do each day, with your included hotel — or upgrade any stay.
Your trip kicks off in San Francisco, one of the most distinctive cities on the West Coast. You have 2 nights here — just enough time to soak up the city's energy, walk its iconic streets, and get a feel for the neighbourhoods that give it so much character.
Highlights
Cross the Golden Gate Bridge on foot or by bike and take in the sweeping views of the bay.
Ride a historic cable car through the hills and explore the lively streets of Chinatown.
Stroll around Fisherman's Wharf and grab a bowl of clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl — a true San Francisco classic.
Wander through the colourful Castro or Mission districts for great cafes, murals, and local life.
If time allows, catch a ferry to Alcatraz Island and tour the famous former prison.
